203 Ghost King Rakshasa
“Don’t worry. The last time I went to the ghost market with Gu Man, nothing happened and I even earned a small sum. Haven’t you always wanted to buy a new phone? What if you find a treasure today?”
Jiang Yi persuaded Xiao Xiao. As expected, when she heard about the new phone, Xiao Xiao instantly became much more determined. “Okay, I’ll go!”
Night fell.
Gu Man and Jiang Yi brought Xiao Xiao into the ghost market with ease. Xiao Xiao looked around, curiosity written on her face.
After seeing all kinds of strange items in the ghost market, the worry in her heart had long disappeared without a trace.
When they pa.s.sed by the stone gambling stall, Xiao Xiao grabbed Gu Man. “Gu Man, this is stone gambling, right?”
“Right.”
Gu Man glanced at the stones in the stall and turned to leave without hesitation.
None of the broken stones could produce jade. She couldn’t be bothered to look at them, but Xiao Xiao couldn’t tell and she was excited about her first time stone gambling. “Gu Man, let’s open one, okay? I want to see it!”
“How much money do you have in your pocket? Even if you want to open one, you have to choose one with jade.”
Gu Man pulled Xiao Xiao away. Xiao Xiao looked at the pile of stones reluctantly and chattered, “You said it yourself. You have to help me get a piece of jade today!”
“Okay.”
The moment Gu Man agreed, Gu Man stopped in her tracks.
She felt an extremely powerful spiritual qi fluctuation!
Gu Man looked in the direction of the fluctuation and saw a ball of greenish-purple light enveloping a certain jade stone. It looked extraordinary.
They had found a treasure!
Gu Man’s eyes burned. She held Xiao Xiao with one hand and Jiang Yi with the other. Without any explanation, she rushed towards the top-grade jade and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
On the other side, Uncle Li retracted his gaze and rushed back to Old Master Cui’s side.
“Old Master Cui, I think I saw Miss Man just now.”
Ever since Gu Man and Old Master Cui reunited, Uncle Li had changed the way he addressed Gu Man to “Miss Man”. Clearly, Old Master Cui liked it.
“Miss Man? Which Miss Man?” Cui Hong, who was following behind Old Master Cui, asked in confusion, but no one answered him.
“Gu Man? What’s she doing in the ghost market?”
Old Master Cui frowned. He recalled his previous encounter in the ghost market. It was difficult for him not to worry about Gu Man’s safety.
Uncle Li thought for a moment and probed, “Didn’t Miss Man say that she moved out of the Gu family? Perhaps she encountered difficulties in her life and came to the ghost market to try her luck.”
Old Master Cui frowned even more.
Although Gu Man had promised him last time that she would definitely ask him for help if she was in trouble, when he thought of Gu Man’s stubborn personality, he could not help but worry.
“Let’s go and take a look,” Old Master Cui ordered.
At the same time, Gu Man finally squeezed into the stone gambling stall with Jiang Yi and Xiao Xiao. She reached out and went straight for the largest jade stone.
The vendor slapped Gu Man’s hand and said impatiently, “Go, go, go. This is not a place for primary school students to go on spring outings. Don’t touch it!”
“I want this stone.”
Gu Man’s words were concise. She took out her card and prepared to pay.
The stall owner was stunned for a moment before he laughed. “Little girl, stop joking. With the money in your pocket, it’s not even enough to buy sc.r.a.ps!”
“Five million.”
Gu Man couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath and made a bid.
The stall owner was stunned on the spot. Gu Man stuffed the card into his hand. Just as she was about to pick up the big rock, a hoa.r.s.e voice sounded from behind her. “10 million. I want it.”
Gu Man turned around and saw a man in a black robe, a black bowler hat, and a pair of black sungla.s.ses standing behind her. He was pointing at the stone in her arms.
“Ghost King Rakshasa!”
The stall owner exclaimed. At the same time, Jiang Yi gasped. “Why is the Ghost King here?”
“Ghost King? Is he very powerful?”
Gu Man asked calmly, not planning to put down the stone in her arms.
Jiang Yi pulled Gu Man’s sleeve and whispered in her ear, “This ghost market was established by Rakshasa back then. Do you think he’s powerful?”
